would like to buy Baer brakes and wheels at same time....

im ordering some iForged 18" rims for my 91 Z and i would like to upgrade my brakes at the same time. im going with the Baer Extreme front disk system from ThunderRacing
Baer Claw Systems, Front 84-92 F-body. (Extreme+) BAER 6 Piston caliper, 13.50" x 1.25" Rotors, All Necessary Hardware.
and i have read that these brakes change my wheels offset in the wheel well. right now i am with my stock wheels/disk brakes and i would like to know the difference in backspacing i need. i will be going to 18x9" front rims with a 275 tire and of course dont want my tires sticking out.

now for the rears. i am getting 18x11" rims that will be wrapped in 315 tires. will the Baer rear system affect my wheel spacing as compared to stock?
Baer Claw Systems, Rear 89-92 F-body, OEM 10 bolt with disk. (Touring) PBR Single Caliper, 12.00" x .81" Rotors, All Necessary Hardware.
i dont want to order a 6" backspacing rear wheel to come and find out that the brake system pushes them out a little further or in more. especially when im spending a lot on iForged rims.
thanks

most baer brakes will set the wheels out 1/4" i was told by baer
cuz im runnin 18x9.5 frt 18x10.5 rears so clearance is important

I have the touring rear kit - I don't think it pushes the tires out any more than stock - at least to my eyes.

Rear kits will do nothing to the rear offset, it's the fronts that move the wheels around a bit, but not much.

Six pistons huh.....damn.
